Day 1: Arrive Livingstone, Zambia

Upon arrival to the Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport meet your Safari representative and head straight to Victoria Falls, the world's largest sheet of falling water! Take a guided tour of the area before departing for camp on the Zambezi River.

*Please note that the falls are seasonal and almost completely disappear in November and December.

Day 2: Chobe National Park | Linyanti Concession

We fly to Kasane for a Chobe River Boat Cruise. The area is famous for its vast herds of elephants in the dry season and other unique species. Enjoy a light lunch on the boat.

Transfer back to the airport this morning to catch a light aircraft flight to Kasane for a Chobe River Boat Cruise. This area is known for vast herds of elephants as well as non-predatory species such as bufallo, giraffe, hippo, zebra, hippo and white rhino. ripe with the Linyanti Concession. After the cruise, depart Kasane by air to the private Linyanti concession. Arrive to camp in time to freshen up and enjoy dinner.

Day 3-4: Linyanti Concession

The Linyanti's perpetual waters attract herds of wildlife that walk well-worn game paths to quench their thirst in the dry season. Predators follow in their footsteps providing diverse and exciting game viewing. The area’s range of habitat includes riverine, savannah, forest, and plains, and offers travelers a diverse safari experience available in few other, if any, destinations. Spend time on traditional game drives, and keep your eyes peeled for the rare roan and sable antelope, plains game and of course their predators, the lion and leopard, with the endangered wild dog as an incredible bonus.

Day 5-7: Santawani Concession

Return to the airstrip in time for a flight to the Santawani Concession. Spend the next 3 days exploring the concession on a mix of day and night game drives, nature walks, and seasonal canoe rides. Birders will be thrilled with the area’s variety of winged species. The Santawani Concession is one of the most diverse areas in northern Botswana which seldom disappoints when it comes to producing fascinating wildlife experiences. Move through the Mopane forests in search of large herds of elephants, different types of antelope, kudu, tsessebe, wildebeest and zebra. Because the waterway attracts so many animals it is a natural allure for predators as well. Keep an eye out for a lion crouching in the tall grasses, spotted hyena, wild dog, and if you are really lucky you may even see a leopard.

Day 8-10: Moremi Game Reserve

Fly this morning to the Jao Concession of the Okavango Delta. The reserve is comprised of both permanent water areas as well as drier savannahs, creating exciting contrasts for the traveler. Wildlife concentrations depend on the water flow and volume, thus changing from season to season, but all the large animals can be found in the area including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo. Enjoy meals in the lofted dining room of your camp, giving you unparalleled views of the delta.

Day 11: Departure

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
